PayPal Checkout for WooCommerce POS
Run the PayPal hosted checkout inside the Oliver POS browser view.
Powered through the WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin — install it on WordPress, configure under WooCommerce → Settings → Payments, and Oliver picks it up at the register automatically.
How PayPal Checkout works with Oliver POS for WooCommerce
Accept PayPal at the Oliver POS register for WooCommerce. The cashier selects PayPal at checkout; Oliver opens the PayPal hosted page in the in-POS browser; the customer pays with their PayPal balance, linked card, Pay Later, or Venmo (US).
Why PayPal still matters for in-store WooCommerce sales
PayPal is in roughly 430 million consumer wallets worldwide. For a significant portion of any retailer's customer base, PayPal is the most familiar way to pay — particularly for older shoppers, cross-border tourists, and anyone who already saves their card to PayPal rather than typing it again. Offering PayPal at the counter removes a small but real point of friction.
How Oliver POS uses the PayPal WooCommerce plugin
The official WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin already supports PayPal Checkout, Pay Later, and Venmo (US). Oliver picks up whichever methods you have enabled and shows them at the register. When the cashier chooses PayPal, Oliver launches the PayPal-hosted approval page in the in-POS browser view, the customer logs in to PayPal on the iPad (or scans the QR with their own phone), approves the charge, and Oliver records the order in WooCommerce.
PayPal doesn't have a card-reader for retail in most markets, so the in-POS browser checkout is the right place for it: it's a customer-driven, online-style flow happening inside a brick-and-mortar sale.
Pay Later, Venmo, and the rest of the PayPal stack
Whatever methods you have enabled in the PayPal WooCommerce plugin are the methods Oliver shows at the register. If you have PayPal Pay Later enabled, customers get the "4 interest-free payments" option in store too. In the United States, Venmo appears as a separate tile and lets customers pay with their Venmo balance. Apple Pay and Google Pay also flow through the same PayPal Payments plugin if you have those turned on.
Best fit for retailers who…
Choose PayPal Checkout for Oliver POS if PayPal already brings in significant volume on your WooCommerce online store, if you sell internationally to PayPal-heavy markets (UK, Germany, Australia), or if you simply want one extra user-friendly payment option for tourists and older customers who don't like typing card numbers into an iPad.

Common questions about PayPal Checkout on Oliver POS
